Chapter 14 Forbidden Adultery Before Sprouting

The ethical relationship of the emperor's family often challenges the moral bottom line, whether it is before the pre-Qin period or after the Qin and Han dynasties, many of the palace secrets exposed by emperors after their deaths have been criticized by defenders.

Scandals such as taking over daughters-in-law, fornicating with brothers and sisters-in-law, and even mothers and sons [***] are dishonorable and morally violent.

Zhen Yan proposed to marry Zhen Mi to Guo Ye, there is indeed some resistance in ethics and morality, Zhen Mi is Zhen Jiang's sister, Zhen Jiang is Guo Jia's wife, Guo Ye is Guo Jia's eldest son, if Zhen Mi marries Guo Ye, then the relationship between Guo Jia's family will suddenly become very chaotic.

This layer of obstacle is nothing more than a factor between generations, and there is no blood relationship and the real [***] fact, so Zhen Yan thinks that with Guo Jia's mind, this relationship will not be regarded as a matter of importance.

In Jincheng, the younger generation of children, among the children, is a new generation of powerful children such as Guo Ye Gan Gui and other leaders of the group, this group of young people are not outstanding in literature, but they are not the flying eagle lackeys who have nothing to do, they wander around the city, often fight grievances, teach other wealthy children, the people have a good impression of this young collective, so that their reputation suddenly rises.

Correspondingly, the most famous young woman in Jincheng is Zhen Mi.

Beautiful like a fairy, like a dragon, not only knowledgeable and reasonable, but also brilliant, the well-known Zhen Mi is the most longed-for talented woman of the young generation in Chengdu.

Since Zhen Mi was fifteen years old, the Zhen family has refused countless people who come to the door every year, with the current status of the Zhen family, there is no need to look at people's faces, ordinary wealthy families, they can't look down on them, and the families that can really make the Zhen family look at it are now only the Guo family and the Qin family.

The Shi clan produces strategists, and the Shu clan produces military generals.

Even if Guo Jia single-handedly subverted the Yizhou Shi clan, Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao still couldn't underestimate the Qin family who once had a good status in Yizhou, as for the families of Dian Wei Xu Chu, Fa Zheng, Zhang Song and so on, in the eyes of the Zhen family, they really couldn't take the initiative to get close to them.

It is difficult for Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao to think about Zhen Mi's happiness regardless of the future development of the family, for every family with status, personal happiness is often the most distant fantasy.

If Qin Mi came to his son Qin Ming to propose to the Zhen family, Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao would immediately agree, but it is a pity that Qin Mi has served Guo Jia for ten years, and has never done a thing that really seeks personal interests for the Qin family.

Zhen Mi has such a weighty bargaining chip, Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao hope to use it to get the maximum benefit for the Zhen family, and now, marrying Zhen Mi to Guo Ye is the best investment they think.

"Let's try it anyway, let the eldest sister go to explore the lord's tone, if the lord is not pleased, then give up."

Zhen Yan said softly.

Zhen Yao thought about it, there is nothing wrong with trying, maybe Guo Jia really doesn't mind Zhen Mi being his daughter-in-law, even if Guo Jia is against it, at most he will be rejected.

"Okay, well, let's say hello to the fifth sister about this matter first, if he has an intention, let her break this idea first."

The two brothers called their subordinates to invite Zhen Mi in the backyard, and after a while, Zhen Mi, who was pure and demure and had a super easy temperament, walked over, like a lotus step and a flower, smiling and moving.

"Second brother, third brother, what's the matter with calling my little sister?"

Two brothers, you look at me and I look at you, after staring at each other for a while, Zhen Yan coughed lightly, then looked at Zhen Mi and said, "Fifth sister, your third brother and I plan to find someone to talk about your family." ”

Zhen Mi's ruddy face turned a little whiter, her faint smile froze, her tone became softer, and she asked, "Which one?" ”

"The eldest son of the lord, Ye Gongzi."

Zhen Yan carefully observed Zhen Mi's expression and found that she was not very interested, and even had a melancholy in her eyes.

Could it really be Zhen Yao's words? Is she really interested in someone?

Zhen Yao also felt that Zhen Mi's reaction was very strange.

Although Guo Ye said that his talent is ordinary, he is definitely dignified and graceful, inheriting the handsome appearance of Guo Jia and Cai Yan, in terms of appearance alone, Guo Ye can be called a beautiful man, in terms of connotation and quality, it seems to be simple and unpretentious, but after so many years of down-to-earth, Guo Ye has shown a pragmatic and calm image of being able to take on great responsibilities.

In this Jincheng, the youngest generation of sons, the most popular figure among young girls is obviously Guo Ye.

Zhen Mi is three or four years older than Guo Ye, and such an age gap should be ignored.

Marrying Guo Ye is definitely more acceptable than marrying other noble sons.

But Zhen Mi had a sad expression, what's going on?

If you don't agree, you will oppose, and if you agree, you will nod, neither end of the two, but you will be full of sadness, which is really unpredictable.

"Fifth sister, do you have someone else in your heart?"

Zhen Yao has never been the image of a black-faced brother, and his kind tone will make Zhen Mi take off his psychological defense.

Zhen Mi lowered her head slightly and shook it gently.

Well?

The second monk Zhen Yao was puzzled, and continued to ask, "Then do you want to marry Ye Gongzi?" ”

Find someone to talk to the matchmaker, first of all, your own woman must be fine, otherwise the man agrees, and he regrets it here, isn't it a big oolong for himself?

Raising her head suddenly, Zhen Mi's eyes were full of worry, she looked at the two elder brothers, and said softly: "Little sister, you can't marry Ye Gongzi." ”

Zhen Yan frowned and asked rhetorically, "Why can't you?" If you can't come up with a convincing reason, you can't leave this matter to you. ”

Personal interests are insignificant in the face of family interests, and Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao are indeed not ruthless enough to push their sisters into the fire pit, but in their eyes, the characters who can make them look at them, even if they are not heroes among people, they are by no means scum and scum.

The atmosphere in the room was a little tense, Zhen Yan forced Zhen Mi to look at her, Zhen Yao looked helpless, Zhen Mi looked at the two brothers with a faint look, and spoke softly.

"The prince of a thousand times is unprepared, and there will be a hundred times of his ministers on his side, to migrate his people and pour his country; The king of ten thousand vehicles is unprepared, and there will be a house of a thousand vehicles on his side, so as to migrate his authority and pour his country. The Zhen family is now talking about status, do the two brothers think that the envoy will not guard against it? Even though the two brothers are loyal to the envoy, what about the next generation of the Zhen family? Will the loyalty of future generations reassure you? The Zhen family can't grow any longer, otherwise there will be a catastrophe! ”

Dead silence, Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao were dumbfounded.

At this moment, it was like an initiation, and cold sweat flowed down his back.

Zhen Mi turned to the side slightly, raised her chin and looked aside, and then said: "There is a king of the country, but there is not much capital; There are ministers of the Tao, and their families are not valuable; There is a king of the way, not a noble minister. The rich will be replaced. Today's Guo Yuanjun, his wife is the daughter of the Zhen family, and his sister-in-law is the nephew of the elder brother, if the younger sister marries Ye Gongzi again, dare to ask the two brothers, will the envoy still trust the Zhen family as always? No matter what the Zhen family thinks, in the eyes of outsiders, the Zhen family is taking the same path that Huo Guang walked back then, isn't the fate of the Huo family enough to warn his brother? ”

Aside from Huo Guang's trust by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, it is a pros or cons to the development of the Western Han regime, but one thing must be certain, in the feudal dynasty, the Huo family monopolized the power as a relative, and created a precedent of "Lu Shang Shushi", breaking the situation of three centimeters of power, and it can even be said that Huo Guang had already held the imperial power in his own hands at that time and was the uncrowned emperor.

Guo Jia is not an emperor now, but at least he is a real and unknown monarch of a vassal state!

The three forces that led to the collapse of the Eastern Han Dynasty regime, the Shi clan, the foreign relatives, and the eunuch party, have been said to this day, the eunuch party has collapsed, and the foreign relatives have disappeared, leaving only the Shi clan who are surviving in various places.

The scholars of the Central Plains, the scholars of Hebei, and the scholars of Jiangnan and Jiangdong are all having a hard time now.

Under Guo Jia's rule, these three forces no longer exist, so naturally we must beware of a resurgence.

The Zhen family's current glory has reached its peak, and it is a height that Guo Jia can give to the maximum, one step of life and death, one step of prosperity and decline, if it goes further, what will Guo Jia do? If the Zhen family can bear the consequences, they can give it a try.

Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao were already pale.

But Zhen Mi's words were not finished.

"Those who govern the people, it is forbidden to annihilate before it sprouts, it is forbidden to prohibit its heart, and then it is forbidden to speak, and it is forbidden to do things. The envoy set two family affairs for Jin Gongzi, one of which was to make peace with Cao Ying, couldn't the two brothers see through the envoy's intentions? Although Gongzi Jin is a son-in-law, he has lost the qualification of the heir, so Jun is warning the Zhen family not to gain an inch anymore, if the two brothers insist on pushing the Zhen family to a high place, they are afraid that the Zhen family will fall to pieces in the future. The height is unbearable, and what the Zhen family needs to do now is to keep a low profile, not only can they not marry the heirs of the gentleman, but even the Zhen family cannot marry ordinary wealthy families. Two brothers, in fact, there is a person around you who is truly wise and foolish, and Mr. Ziyi's way of life is the best way for the family to continue to prosper. ”

Zhen Mi, who looked faint, looked at the two brothers after speaking, no one knew that there was a nervous heart under her calm expression, and what she was most worried about was that the two brothers took her words as a deaf ear.

Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao looked at each other, each wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, Zhen Yao laughed at himself and said: "The fifth sister woke up the dreamer with a word, I understand, you go, what happened today should not have happened." ”

Zhen Mi smiled faintly and saluted and retired.

After she left, Zhen Yan suddenly asked, "Did you say that the fifth sister was intimidating you and me?" Could it be that she didn't want to marry Ye Gongzi, so she turned around and asked you and me to give up this idea? ”

Zhen Yao threw away the jade pendant in his hand, and chuckled: "I think eighty percent is true, but what the fifth sister said is not unreasonable, the Zhen family should keep a low profile, Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, and it will be wrong to be higher than the crowd, if it has been at the height of the outside focus, it will be a curse or a blessing to the Zhen family." ”

Zhen Yan smiled bitterly and shook her head: "This fifth sister ......"

Walking out of the room and walking around the corner, Zhen Mi suddenly covered her chest and leaned against the door of the house, her eyes were full of rhyme, Xia Fei's cheeks suppressed the restless heartbeat, Zhen Mi let out a long sigh of relief.

"It's good that my brother was fooled...... Make the king ......"
